[QUOTE="Mobidic, post: 1171754, member: 156969"] I got something working! It seems that if EPG is not present, the UI is ugly/destroyed and time-shifting doesn't work. I came to the conclusion that WebEPG is deprecated and badly designed anyway. It doesn't show any error if the xml is not well constructed, just ignoring and moving forward... silently not working. I got EPG working by using xmltv from instruction: [URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/xmltv-install-configure-for-atsc-ota-u-s-a.133048/#post-1166099']https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/t...igure-for-atsc-ota-u-s-a.133048/#post-1166099[/URL] The entire steps of xmltv could be automated, login seems to be optional, and more importantly I have always thought that EPG mapping need human analysis but no, the server log channels are exact match to channel provided by zap2it, so someone could finish automating the full workflow. The UI looks relatively fine now, but it's obvious that using a mouse is not welcome, and it's super frustrating. The back button doesn't do anything, but with the keyboard shortcut timeshifting is working. Also if I'm watching something then bring up the guide, it's hard with the mouse to get rid of it, there is no close button, I can click outside the guide, on my tv show and it doesn't go away, it's ridiculous. It's not like using a mouse is a new concept, on a software that works only on Windows...maybe if that was a client running on Linux developed by people using vi that would make more sense. When I click on the timeshifting progressbar it doesn't move to where I have clicked. I wonder if the client from MediaPortal 1 is working better. If I would be redesigning the UI, I will start by copying what Microsoft Media Center is doing. Any known other UI that works well with the rest of the MediaPortal stack? [/QUOTE]
